Naruto, my father's name is Uchiha Madara.

Page 386

Calmly observing the opponent, occasionally launching a swift sneak attack, and then fleeing again, he brought guerrilla tactics to their extreme.

Kawaki Sora possessed immense power, yet he couldn't even touch Naruto's clothes. He could only rage helplessly, passively consuming the power of Karma and his own stamina.

The battle seems to be tilting in Naruto's favor.

Chapter 407 Cracked! Young Named Bikanna

On the surface, the situation on the battlefield seemed to be deadlocked due to Naruto's elusive Flying Thunder God guerrilla tactics, and even slightly tilted in Naruto's favor.

The golden figure flashed continuously, and Kawaki's ferocious attacks repeatedly missed, making him look quite disheveled.

However, Naruto was at the heart of the battle, while Boruto was observing from the sidelines.

They were all clearly aware of a serious problem—procrastination cannot bring victory.

Although Naruto's chakra is enormous, the continuous use of Flying Thunder God Technique, high-intensity taijutsu combat, and maintaining the Kurama Link consume a great deal of energy.

Kawaki's "wedge" state energy seems to originate from Otsutsuki, and its endurance is unknown.

More importantly, if we cannot truly understand and crack the mystery of "Shona Bikona" to deliver a decisive blow to Kawaki.

Then this battle will go on forever, and in the end, it is likely that Naruto, whose chakra is being used up even faster, will be worn down.

Boruto was anxious, knowing full well the strangeness of "Shaoming Biguna".

Back then, it was his father, the Seventh Hokage, and his master, Sasuke Uchiha, who joined forces.

It was only through countless observations and sacrifices that they finally figured out the principles behind the ability and found a way to counter it.

Now, this younger version of the father is facing it all alone, and the difficulty he faces is unimaginable.

The atmosphere was equally somber within the space of consciousness.

Minato frowned: "This can't go on. Naruto's chakra is being depleted faster than theirs."

Kushina said worriedly, "We have to find a way to understand that ability!"

Kurama didn't speak, but it was already thinking that if Naruto was in danger, it would activate its Heavy Particle Mode without hesitation and trade one for one with the opponent.

Madara remained silent, his crimson Sharingan peering through Naruto's vision, intently capturing the subtle chakra fluctuations and spatial changes that Kawaki made each time he used his ability.

The brain is analyzing and deducing at an unprecedented speed.

However, just when everyone was worried about Naruto, thinking he was in a difficult situation, Naruto on the battlefield had a completely different mindset.

He wasn't completely clueless.

In the intervals between high-speed movement and fierce combat, a detail he had overlooked suddenly illuminated his thoughts like a flash of lightning in the darkness!

Flying Thunder God coordinates!

His Flying Thunder God kunai, which he had scattered throughout the battlefield, "disappeared" from a physical perspective due to Kawaki's ability!

It is invisible to the naked eye and cannot be touched.

However—in his perception, the chakra imprints contained in those coordinate points still existed clearly!

The location hasn't changed at all!

This discovery was like breaking through a layer of window paper!

"I see……"

Naruto suddenly understood: "'Sakana Biguna'... is not a space-time ninjutsu!"

"It didn't 'transfer' the object to another dimension, but rather... changed the object's 'state of existence' in the real world!"

"It temporarily transforms it from a 'visible and tangible' entity into an 'invisible and intangible' one, but its essence remains in the 'nothingness' state it was in the original place!"

Once I understood this, many previously inexplicable phenomena became clear!

Why can't I sense the shrunken Kawaki?

Because his "state of existence" has been altered, conventional means of perception have become ineffective.

Why does an attack appear out of nowhere?

Because Kawaki altered the "state of existence" by using his ability when or before the attack was launched.

The process and trajectory are concealed until the moment of impact with the target, at which point it "reappears"!

This explains why the shrunken Kawaki can still launch physical attacks.

He and his attack are only temporarily "invisible and intangible," but their physical entities and kinetic energy have not disappeared!

“Although it’s still unclear how he precisely controls the switching between ‘existence’ and ‘non-existence’, knowing this is enough!” A cold, sharp glint flashed in Naruto’s eyes.

An extremely bold, even somewhat "shameless" way to break the deadlock instantly took shape in his mind!

Since I can't fully understand how your abilities work, I'll just bypass it!

We'll lock onto you in the way you least expect it!

With this in mind, Naruto stopped dodging.

Facing Kawaki in his wedge state charging forward again, he actually took the initiative to meet him head-on, condensing a dazzling Rasengan in his right hand and launching a direct attack!

A hint of disdain flashed in Kawaki's eyes. With the "Karma" seal, he could easily absorb any ninjutsu!

Without dodging or avoiding, he raised his right hand, the wedge pattern on his palm lighting up, and met the Rasengan head-on!

Sure enough, the Rasengan was absorbed instantly upon contact with his palm, like a mud ox sinking into the sea!

However, in the blink of an eye, the Rasengan disappeared and the old power was gone.

Naruto's right hand, which was originally used to launch the Rasengan, transformed from a fist into a claw.

With lightning speed, he grabbed Kawaki's wrist before he could pull it back!

"what?!"

Kawaki was startled and tried to break free, but Naruto's five fingers were like iron clamps, containing terrifying monstrous strength!

"caught you!"

Naruto sneered, straining his waist and abdomen, his arm muscles bulging.

With sheer physical strength, he swung Kawaki around like a broken sack!

boom! boom! boom! boom!

Under everyone's stunned gaze, Kawaki was relentlessly slammed into the hard ground by Naruto again and again!

Each impact produced a dull thud, creating shallow craters in the ground and sending debris flying!

The former "Son of Hokage" is now like a pitiful rag doll, being wantonly trampled on!

"Ugh—!"

The intense pain and dizziness caused Kawaki to let out a painful roar as he struggled desperately.

Finally, before being slammed to the ground again, he activated "Shona Higana" once more!

His body shrank instantly, escaping Naruto's grasp and disappearing into the air like a speck of dust.

"Disappeared again!" The onlookers' hearts skipped a beat.

But this time, Naruto's reaction was completely different!

He seemed to need no eyes at all; almost at the same moment Kawaki shrank, his body turned slightly to the side as if he had foreseen it.

A powerful, heavy whip kick, accompanied by a piercing whistle that tore through the air, struck with perfect precision into a seemingly empty area to the side!

"How can it be?!"

Kawaki, who was in stealth mode, was horrified and had no time to react!

A tremendous force acted squarely on his shrunken body!

He felt as if he had been hit head-on by a speeding train, and his whole body was thrown backward uncontrollably.

Forced to revert to its normal size in mid-air, it crashed heavily to the ground, tumbling more than a dozen times before barely coming to a stop, looking utterly pathetic.

"Why...why?!"

Kawaki clutched the spot where he had been kicked, looking up in shock and anger.

Looking at Naruto, who was slowly retracting his leg, his eyes were filled with disbelief. "How can you see me?!"

He couldn't believe that anyone could launch a counterattack without knowing the principles of the Lesser Name Bikuna!

Kawaki launched another attack on Naruto, but from this point on, no matter how he used the Shonami Biguna to shrink himself, Naruto could always "see" his location.

He tried to retaliate with the invisible black rods, but Naruto would use the Flying Thunder God Technique without hesitation every time he saw him make a move.

He could only be beaten by Naruto again and again, without ninjutsu or genjutsu, just pure taijutsu.

In the end, Kawaki was trampled under Naruto's foot, looking on in disbelief: "Why...why can you see me?"

Naruto looked down at him, a mocking smile playing on his lips: "See? No, I can't see your shrunken form."

He pointed at Kawaki, his tone mocking:

"However, the dense, glittering 'Flying Thunder God Marks' on your body are as conspicuous to me as a lighthouse in the dark."

"Flying Thunder God...mark?!"

Kawaki was startled and subconsciously looked down at his body.

Upon seeing this, his blood almost froze!

All that could be seen were the folds of his black robe, the fabric under his armpits, the roots of his hair behind his ears, and even the ends of a few stray strands of hair...

Unbeknownst to them, dozens of extremely faint yet clearly discernible chakra marks were silently imprinted upon them.

It is the coordinate of the Flying Thunder God Technique!

These markings are hidden in an extremely clever and concealed way; they are almost impossible to detect unless one deliberately scans them with chakra!

In the heat of the battle, how could he possibly be distracted to check if someone had tampered with his body?

Naruto looked at Kawaki's expression, which was as if he had been struck by lightning and was completely dumbfounded.

He explained in a calm tone, "I just pressed it on when I was punching you."

"Anyway, whatever your abilities are, as long as these coordinates are still there, I can clearly 'perceive' your location."
